In a chilling development, a Wisconsin teenager, currently incarcerated on charges of allegedly murdering his parents, is under federal investigation.
The authorities are probing whether the brutal killings were part of a larger plot to "obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary" to assassinate President Donald Trump and topple the U.S. government. The charges being considered against the 17-year-old, Nikita Casap, include conspiracy, presidential assassination, and the use of weapons of mass destruction, according to ABC News.
Casap was apprehended in March and is facing two state charges of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse, as reported by Waukesha County, Wisconsin authorities. Additional charges include theft of property exceeding $10,000 and misappropriation of identification to secure funds. The teenager made a court appearance on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing on the state charges. He has yet to enter a plea and is due for another court appearance in Waukesha County on May 7.
The bodies of Casap's stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, and his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, were discovered in their residence on March 1 by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. The department, after issuing a warrant, unearthed materials on the teenager's phone linked to "The Order of Nine Angles," a group characterized as "a network of individuals holding neo-Nazi racially motivated extremist views."
Federal court documents reveal that the FBI scrutinized documents allegedly penned by the teenager, which called for President Trump's assassination and the initiation of a revolution "to save the white race." The documents also reportedly contained images of Adolf Hitler and the text "HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY," according to court records.
The federal affidavit filed by investigators stated, "He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States. And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack." The investigators also alleged that other, unnamed parties "appear to have been aware of his plan and action and to have provided assistance to Casap in carrying them out."
This case brings to light the disturbing reality of extremist views and the potential threats they pose to the stability of our nation. It underscores the need for vigilance and the importance of law enforcement agencies in maintaining the security of our country. The charges against Casap, if proven, represent a shocking disregard for human life and a direct threat to our democratic institutions.
